Sundays In My City





I've passed this house for the past few weeks and always smiled at the door.  It's an older house that's been torn down to the frame and is being rebuilt and expanded.  Why they left an upstairs door in place I don't know but I'm sure there is a funny caption to fit the photo.

What's yours?

How funny--to leave that one door while all the rest was gutted!

Jeanie said...

I am so not good at these kind of captions.....maybe something like a sort of quirky illustration for the adage "when God closes a door he opens a window" or more in this case.

Sweet Tea said...

"I hear ya knockin' but you can't come in".
Remember that old song?

Eva Gallant said...

"Come in, the walls are open!

Ms Sparrow said...

If the door is closed, we'e not home!

Fireblossom said...

Geez. Some people will tear the whole house apart, rather than call a locksmith!

Shug said...

"It's my door...and I'll cry if I want to"

I don't know!! funny isn't it!
hugs,
shug

Could that be the bathroom and they want some privacy?

Rocio Esmeralda said...

hahaha I am not good a caption thing but I really like the one that Eva said. "Come in, the windows are open" lol

Christine said...

hmm...strange indeed!

Hmmmm...I'm terrible at these things. Found this quote tho: “Death has a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one." Phillip Massinger

Is that too morose? :)

BLOGitse said...

Perhaps the door holds the whole house in shape... :)

Brian Miller said...

surely it is for safety purposes, so no one falls out...smiles....lol...blogitse might be right...

Zuzana said...

I guess they wanted to remember where the entrance was.;))
Have a great Monday,

Opportunity knocks but just once....maybe they need a door to knock on! Happy Monday JJ!

Webster said...

(knock knock) "Come on in! The house is always open!"

Webster said...

By the way, the door used to be at the ground level. This house has been raised a storey, so they have effectively added a whole new floor, without having to rebuild the roof from scratch.

Something old, something new. Mostly new.

It must something sentimental about the door.

Lisa said...

How about simply, "Come in! We are open." :) How fun! Love the picture!!!

Wonder if you stop by - do you still need to knock and wait for someone to answer. I guess they thouht the door was worth saving. To funny.

What a great shot!

Where one door shuts, a window opens...

Nita Davis said...

Perfect add shot for the "Master Security Door" company... 'Master Security Door's are so secure not even a tornado can blow them open' :D
Good find by the way. Have a great week.

Hilary said...

How many times must I tell you kids? "Shut the door when the air conditioner is running!"

bill lisleman said...

she came in through the bathroom window because the door was closed - This is certainly a very complete remodeling.

jane said...

Maybe it was left for directional pruposes..."look for the house with he white door" - or "you can't miss it, it's the house with the white door."

Joyce said...

I will be curious to see this home finished. I like that they kept the stairs goes with a great foundation. xo

Chris H said...

I am hopeless at captions.
Maybe you could actually stop one day and ask them why they left the door?
I would.
Why wonder and wonder when a few simple words could give you the answer.
Most people would not mind telling you why.

Unknown Mami said...

That's pretty funny. I guess they want to make sure people knock before entering.

Secret Agent Woman said...

I wonder if it's providing support in some way?

Emom said...

that first step is a doozie!....smiles....

Chrisy said...

Close the dam door...you're letting in a draft!

karmanot said...

When a window opens, a door closes.

"Shut that door! Were you born in a barn?"
